Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 0.25 cup water

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 6–7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Pour the honey mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, coating it evenly with the sauce. Simmer for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and glaze is glossy.
  • Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Serve over steamed rice with stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
